About Us

Hill Country Chicken is inspired by its founder’s childhood memories and his passion for the Texas-style home cooking of his mother and grandmothers, Betty and Momma Els - hearty, crave-able comfort food served lovingly, casually and unpretentiously by people with big smiles on their faces.

We select only the finest, all-natural chickens. Our extra-large birds are chosen for their superior flavor and juiciness, for more deliciousness in every bite. Not to mention that all of our food is prepared daily on premise using only the freshest, premium ingredients.

But you would expect nothing less from a place that calls itself “A Fresh Fried Chicken Joint”.
